^nautilus-openterminal should show open terminal option on right clicking inside any directory in Nautilus file manager.I have in my Debian Sid installed=
nautilus-actions nautilus-cd-burner nautilus-gksu nautilus-open-terminal nautilus-image-converter
It should work make sure : /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libnautilus-open-terminal.so
^is installed nautilus-actions is a interesting stuff,u can install scripts from www.g-scripts.sourceforge.net/
^you can refer reg nautilus-actions : *www.linux.com/feature/119603

 

[Rahim]

^^ I installed it through Synaptic but ii dont get the option in the right-click menu

 

[praka123]

^it is weird.try deleting when nautilus FM is not opened :

 rm -r ~/.nautilus

^^^ directory
then restart nautilus and see whether it works!
if that too fails try(when INTERNET IS CONNECTED),

 sudo su -

in the "#" root prompt,

apt-get update && apt-get install --reinstall nautilus nautilus-data nautilus-cd-burner nautilus-sendto

Try!

Greetings.!!

I have lerant quite a lot about ubuntu in these few days.But I am still facing certain issues which I would like resolved.Here they are:

• I can't play any flash contents on sites like digit homepage and youtube using opera 9.50b.FF plays them fine.How do I get these working for opera.I have flashplugin-nonfree,Gnash SWF viewer,Adobe flash plugin installed.
• I can't edit permissions for certain files and folders like sources.list,home etc.
  All options are grayed out and it says at the bottom "You are not the owner of this file.So you can't change these permissions."How do I all permissions editable by me.??Or is it supposed to be this way.??
• Finally,now I am able to play all media on my linux except VCD movies.DVDs work fine,but it's only VCDs that won't play.

Hoping for someone to throw in some help here.!!

Reagards,
shady_inc.

for opera,I believe in Debian or ubuntu, u have to copy the libflashplayer.so plugin to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or/and /usr/lib/opera/plugins/
.below link explains this:
*www.opera.com/linux/docs/plugins/install/
wherever permission is denied,those files/dir are owned by administrator called as "root" in UNIX.in terminal you can use "sudo" prefix to get temparory admin privilage.those in nautilus file manager which are grayed out are obviously owned by root.
for launching GUI applications as root,for eg: nautilus FM,try
"gksudo". like:

gksudo nautilus

^in run dialog box(pressing alt+f2 gives).

@praka123 I had to reboot and the open terminal entry was there.

 

[praka123]

^congrats

Ok...I managed to get over that flash content problem by removing the Gnash SWF viewer and keeping only the adobe flash plugin for both FF and opera.Working properly now. .

 

[Rahim]

How did you install for Opera?

 

[shady_inc]

I just copied the libflashplayer.so file from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to /usr/lib/opera/plugins directory and it worked.!!

i got my dvd today . i will install tomorrow on a test pc . by the way i successfully installed mandriva 08 . it playing all mp3 . it does not enable 3d for desktop that pc has fx 5200 but still it says not supported . it detected the card too . and the monitor model i gave every thing is fine except 3d . also it does not allow me to write anything to ntfs partition . i can only copy from it not copy to it .

Well in my /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder there is a flashplugin-alternative.so but no libflashplayer.so . I installed flashplugins-nonfree from Synaptic. Are both the same?

EDIT: On further search i found the libflashplayer.so in my home/.mozilla/plugins folder. Should i copy it from here to /usr/lib/opera/plugins folder?

Just download and install nVidia driver. 3D support would be enabled.

@rahimveron
Yes, copy that .so file there.

I dont know about Mandriva as i am an Ubuntu user. Maybe you have to install ntfs-3g ,it allow you to write on ntfs partitions too. Search in your package manager for it.

Ok fine.

[x3060]

Download VLC as Ubuntu does not support VCD by default. Open through "Open Disc/DVD" option in VLC.
